Critical evaluation of branch polarity and apical dominance as dictators of colony astogeny in a branching coral.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2009

Shaish Lee, Rinkevich Baruch

Abstract excerpt

The high morphological resemblance between branching corals and trees, can lead to comparative studies on pattern formation traits, best exemplified in plants and in some cnidarians. Here, 81 branches of similar size of the hermatypic coral Stylophora pistillata were lopped of three different genets, their skeletons marked with alizarin red-S, and divided haphazardly into three morphometric treatment groups: (I)...
